Transmission Cooler Thermal Bypass Device
A transmission cooler thermal bypass device that includes a body having a front side, a back side, a top side, and a bottom side. A first opening, a second opening, a third opening, and a fourth opening, whereby a first passageway connects the first opening and the second opening, and a second passageway connects the third opening and the fourth opening. At least one fin. The first passageway and the second passageway do not include a flow control valve.
Method of modifying an engine oil cooling system
A method of modifying the oil cooling system of a diesel engine includes the steps of removing the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger and installing a manifold having a configuration adapted to match the mounting configuration of the oil passages of the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The manifold has an oil outlet port directed to a remotely mounted oil cooler. The manifold also has a water passage having a configuration that is adapted to match the mounting configuration of the water passages of the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The water passage causes the entirety of the flow of water to be discharged back to the water cooling system of the engine where it is circulated by the water pump through the water cooling passages in the engine.

Cooling device for vehicle
A cooling device for a vehicle is provided, which includes a first coolant channel through which a first coolant for cooling an engine flows, a second coolant channel through which a second coolant for cooling a motor drive flows, and an oil channel through which oil for lubricating inside a transmission flows. The oil channel includes a first heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the first coolant and the oil, a second heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the second coolant and the oil, and a valve configured to adjust a first flow rate of the oil circulating through the first heat exchanger and a second flow rate of the oil circulating through the second heat exchanger.

Aircraft power plant cooling system
A method of cooling an aircraft power plant having a combustion engine is disclosed. The method comprises in a first operating mode, inducing a cooling air flow through a heat exchanger in an air conduit via a flow inducing device fluidly connected to the air conduit, the heat exchanger connected in heat exchange relationship with the power plant of the aircraft. The method comprises, in a second operating mode, bypassing the cooling air flow from the flow inducing device via a selectively closable air outlet of the air conduit downstream of the heat exchanger. A cooling system for an aircraft power plant is also disclosed.
Devices and method for regulating cooler flow through automotive transmissions
Methods and valves for providing a continuous flow of cooler fluid in a fluid circuit of a thermal control system between a cooler and automotive transmission such that free flow of cooler fluid between the cooler and transmission exists at vehicle start-up. Fluid flow to and from the cooler is bypassed in case of pressure increases in cooler lines or pressure differentials, for example cause by a blockage in the cooler, such that the cooler fluid flow bypasses the cooler and continues in the fluid circuit through a thermal element of the thermal control system and back to the transmission.
WORK MACHINE
A work machine in which an engine and a reserving unit configured to reserve lubricating oil to be supplied to the engine are connected by a lubricating oil channel, and the lubricating oil is circulated, wherein at least a part of the lubricating oil channel and at least a part of a working fluid channel for a working fluid to be supplied to a work unit of the work machine are arranged such that heat can be exchanged between the lubricating oil and the working fluid.
Engine cooling system and method for a spark ignited engine
Systems, devices, and method are disclosed for differentially cooling an internal combustion engine. A cooling system includes a first cooling circuit configured to lower a temperature of a cooling fluid to a first temperature where the first cooling circuit is configured to dispense a first portion of the cooling fluid to cylinder walls and non-cylinder or non-combustion surfaces of the engine. The cooling system also includes a second cooling circuit configured to lower the temperature of a remaining or second portion of the cooling fluid to a second temperature that is lower than the first temperature where the second cooling circuit is configured to dispense the remaining portion of the cooling fluid to cylinder or combustion surfaces within one or more cylinders of the internal combustion engine.
VEHICLE WITH PARALLEL ENGINE COOLING SYSTEMS
The technology disclosed herein relates to a grounds maintenance vehicle. The grounds maintenance vehicle has an engine and an engine shroud defining a cooling volume around the engine. The shroud defines a shroud intake. An engine oil conduit extends from the engine and a heat exchanger is coupled to the engine oil conduit.
